Is the Consistency Rule Calculated Based on current P&L?

last update: September 9, 2026

Yes. The Consistency Rule is calculated using your account’s total gross P&L across all trades, rather than just winning trades or the final profit target.

This means that for the consistency calculation, your present P&L is taken

Example: Winning and losing trades on the same day

Let’s say a trader has the following trades in one day:

Trade 1: +$1,000

Trade 2: +$500

Trade 3: -$300

Trade 4: +$200

for the consistency calculation we take current net P&L, and the calculation would be:

$1,000 + $500 – $300 + $200 = $1,400

So, the consistency P&L will be $1,000 (best trade) out of $1,700 = 58%
